The Almudena Cathedral is the most important religious building in Madrid. It was consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1993, making it the first cathedral to be consecrated outside of Rome. The interior is in the Gothic style, although the exterior is Neoclassical. The temple’s interior is rather surprising since it is completely different to any other cathedral built during the same period; the ceiling and the stained-glass windows being decorated with vivid colours and straight lines, much unlike the classical style.
